A TV Character Who Describes Your Personality:
Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' minus the fabulous wardrobe, because I'm a lovelorn writer who lives in the city. When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I felt it fed me more. Especially because the only successful thing I've ever made in the kitchen is a mess. And several little fires.
If I could revive one TV show, it would be:Arrested Development
Show I'm ashamed to admit I've never seen a single episode of: The Wire
